Description
Knowledge of the chemical structure and concentration of organometal compounds throughout the ecosystem is essential and to keep in line with developments Organometallic Compounds in the Environment is now publishing as a second edition. Treating the topic as an integrated subject area it covers all the recent developments in analytical techniques and reports all the new work that has been achieved since the first book. * Includes problems/solutions section for teaching use * Provides single source coverage of the subject area * Presents information in a manageable size Professor Peter Craig is an Emeritus Professor in the School of Molecular Sciences at De Montfort University, Leicester, UK. His research has been particularly concerned with metal methylation, reactions and transport in the environment and with the roles of mercury, tin, lead, arsenic and antimony in the natural environment.
